AbstractUnder the notion of “CSCL scripts”, different pedagogical models for structuring and supporting collaboration in the classroom have been proposed. We report on a practical experience with scripts based on the Pyramid collaborative learning flow pattern supported by a specific classroom tool and a teacher-facing dashboard that implements mirroring and guiding support. The input data of our analysis stems from recordings of classroom interactions guided by several teachers using the PyramidApp with different levels of teaching support. For the analysis, we introduce a specific coding scheme enabling a quantitative comparison and deeper analysis using epistemic network analysis. The results show that the guiding support enabled teachers to perform more orchestration actions, more targeted interactions and to make more announcements to the class (regarding time, phase transitions, and students’ activity participation) when compared to the mirroring support. Teachers’ actionable differences observed under the mirroring and guiding support directed us to deconstruct the notion of orchestration load into different facets and to discuss how different support provisions correspond to the different facets of orchestration load.

Occurrence of bit error is more when communication takes place in System on chip environment. By employing proper error detection and correction codes the bit error rate can be considerably reduced in On-chip communication. As System on chip involves heterogeneous system the efficiency of communication is improved when reconfigurable multiple coding schemes are preferred. Depending upon the requirements for various subsystem the correct code has to be selected. Due to the variations in input demands based on various subsystems the proper selection of codes become fuzzy in nature. In this paper Fuzzy Controller is designed to select the correct coding scheme. Inputs are given to the fuzzy controller based on the application demand of the user. The input parameters are minimum bit error rate, computational complexity and correlation level of the input data. Fuzzy Controller employs three membership functions and 27 rules to select the appropriate coding scheme. The selected coding scheme should be communicated at the proper time to the decoder. To enable the decoding process selected coding scheme is communicated effectively by using less overhead frame format. To verify the functionality of fuzzy controller random input data sets are used for testing.

In this paper we give an overview of the field of patient simulators and provide qualitative and quantitative comparison of different modeling and simulation approaches. Simulators can be used to train human caregivers but also to develop and optimize algorithms for clinical decision support applications and test and validate interventions. In this paper we introduce three novel patient simulators with different levels of representational accuracy: HeartPole, a simplistic transparent rule-based system, GraphSim, a graph-based model trained on intensive care data, and Auto-ALS—an adjusted version of an educational software package used for training junior healthcare professionals. We provide a qualitative and quantitative comparison of the previously existing as well as proposed simulators.

This study investigates the possibility of measuring cognitive responses to musical stimuli. The experiments were based on measurements of the event- related potential (ERP) of three electroencephalographic electrodes. The musical stimuli consisted of five-tone pitch patterns ( constant intensity, duration, and timbre), based on the Western tonal system. Subjects compared reference patterns with comparison patterns, which were either identical to the reference pattern or nonidentical because of predetermined changes in the comparison patterns. The patterns were presented in auditory or visual mode in a slow or a fast version. The results show a striking cognitive response to nonidentical tones in the comparison patterns and to a lesser extent to exceptional tones even in the reference patterns. Different levels of response were detected according to the type of pattern. We also found some evidence of factors contributing to "subjective equivalence" between different patterns. The correlation between results from this study and those from earlier studies based on the same measuring technique with different kinds of input data or using different methods and techniques is discussed.

Identification Strategy

Literature and research have shown that professional development constitutes an essential dimension in constructing both work and professional identity. An important aspect in such development is training. In the field of adult education, different authors (Pratt, 1993; Mezirow, 1985; Schön, 1996; Silva, 2007) emphasize the importance of placing trainees at the center of the learning and cognitive processes and within their corresponding social and historical contexts. Training is supported by a comprehensive adult learning theory. Therefore, the acquired knowledge is not only the result of an external and objective reality but also of a complex construction in which the appropriation of experience plays a relevant role. This paper reveals the findings obtained through biographical narratives in a five-year work program with teachers at different levels (from pre-school to higher education) on postgraduate courses. The core issue is the importance of biographical narratives, as an identification strategy for personal experience, knowledge construction and professional identity. This strategy provided the opportunity for recognition of practical experience, as a provider of learning, as well as his/her own authorship, which are important conditions in the understanding of professional identity.

Relevance. Modern society has global transformations; as a result, the level characteristics of its system development are changing, new opportunities and new situations to implement a self-organizing system to solve problems of self-government appear. Thus, there is the need to organize the multiplicity of interactions in the new environment, including education. The success of the development mechanisms, organizing innovative activities in the educational systems of different levels is largely determined by the active development of interaction network forms and interaction effective management. The article is devoted to development of theoretical ideas about the processes of network interaction in education to justify and describe the principles of modern scientific-educational network on the basis of system-synergetic approach. A leading approach to study this problem can be considered as system-synergetic which allows studying network interaction within the scientific and educational network as a holistic entity consisting of interrelated elements, structured and complex. The results of the study showed that described principles of effective networking and the conditions of scientific and educational networks development allow you to combine and re-combine the accumulated actors of this knowledge and practical experience interaction, turning them into the means of its innovative activities. The article can be useful to heads of educational institutions of different levels, as well as researchers of innovative processes development problems in education.

One of the major problems in software engineering education is the involvement of students in real world software projects. Industry projects are a solution, but in many cases they are hard to find and student participation can be problematic due to cultural, familiarization and other practical reasons. The abundance of Free / Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects is a neat solution, offering multi-lingual, multi-cultural environments in virtually every application domain, at different levels of project size, maturity, organization etc. The paper analyzes how acquisition of practical experience on several basic and advanced software engineering topics can be achieved by working in a FLOSS project. The kind of skills that can be acquired are those requested by the Overview Report for Computing Curricula by ACM and topics examined are those of the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge, by IEEE. Also software engineering areas that require special care or that may not prove suitable for such treatment are identified. Various isolated teaching cases pertaining to this approach are presented and discussed.1

In this paper, a novel internal folded hardware-efficient architecture of multi-level 2-D 9/7 discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed. For multi-level DWT, the unfolded structure is more extensively used compared with the folded structure, because of its low memory consumption and low time delay. However, a set of input data valid every few clock cycles caused the mismatch between clock and data in the unfolded structure. The mismatch usually needs to be solved by multi-clock or complex data adjustment, which increases the consumption of hardware resources and the complexity of the overall system. To solve the above problem of the unfolded structure, we adjust the data input timing by using a single clock domain and folding the DWT architecture of different levels in varying degrees, according to their own clock-to-data ratios. For an image of size of N × N pixels and 3-level DWT, the proposed architecture requires only 6N words temporal memory. For 3-level DWT with an image of size 512 × 512 pixels, the hardware estimation and comparison of the existing architectures show that, the hardware estimation result shows at least 30.6% area-delay-product (ADP) decrease, and at least 22.4% transistor-delay-product (TDP) decrease for S = 8, and 25.77% transistor-delay-product (TDP) decrease for S = 16.

Introduction. One of the strategic components of modern education modernisation is its technological diversification by means of traditional and emedia blend in the educational process aimed at acquiring knowledge, skills and competences. This blend is considered a trigger for innovative development of higher education worldwide due to its adequate adaptive personalised professional training for students. Thereby, to interpret and evaluate the pedagogical potential for blended learning models implementation in higher education environment is regarded as foremost.The aim of the article is to theoretically and practically provide rationale for the efficiency of structural and functional content of the existing blended learning models that designate specific patterns for education management in Russian and foreign universities.Methodology and research methods. System approach underlies this research. Retrospective and comparative analysis methods, synthesis and classification have been employed to conduct the research. A survey is a supplementary method used to collect empirical data.Results and scientific novelty. The existing definitions of blended learning are reviewed. Pedagogical models of blended learning are compared according to their dominant functional feature, design principles and basic components. The models are classified into institutional, technological, didactic and synergistic on the basis of synthesis and systematisation of the theoretical and practical experience of an integrative didactic teaching system design in the university electronic educational environment. Each type of these models is described; their features, peculiarities and advantages are shown. It is concluded that there is no unified approach in understanding the essence of blended learning. Thus, the authors’ interpretation of the blended learning concept is developed in the research.Practical significance. The results of the research may be applied in design, implementation and assessment performance of blended learning models or their components in practice of particular universities.
